#telluria

Riding drakes, the ram-horned "wingless dragons" popular in Kenor, are descended from Podarcis wall lizards.

[Image description: A digital sketch of a young man with tan skin, brown eyes, and neck-length hair looking at the viewer with an unsettled, lost expression. His hair is purple where it falls over his face and green where it doesn’t. He is shown from the shoulders up, wearing a newsboy cap and a vest and shirt. End ID.]

[Image description: A pencil sketch of a white woman with short light hair and a broad build, standing and smiling at the viewer with a hand on her hip. She is wearing a shirt with the head of a blocky doglike creature with antennae, the words “Not Aliens - extratellurians” written below. Next to her is her right hand clad in a chainsaw-handling glove, shown from both sides. The text reads: Anti-vibration gloves (they are pink). End ID.]

[Image description: A pencil sketch of a white man with long wavy blond hair smiling and looking to the right. He is shirtless and shown from the chest up. His collarbone is very deep, and he has bulging chest muscles and wing membranes on his arms (like a pterosaur, though only a tiny bit of them is visible). End ID.]

I wrote "brachiopatagia" in the current scene, but might change it while editing.

(Obligatory reminder that you can get the first book in the series here or here!)

[Image description: A pencil doodle of a white teen boy with pterosaur-like wings flying. His wings are at the height of an upstroke, and have stripes on the underside and eyespots on the top side. He also has a long tail tipped with fins like swallowtail wings. End ID.]

[Image description: A pencil drawing of a white teen boy with folded pterosaur-like wings / arms kneeling and looking to the left with a neutral expression. He has a long tail tipped with fin things resembling a swallowtail butterfly’s hind wings. A much smaller doodle to the side shows him from a different angle to make sense of his anatomy. End ID.]
